It is difficult to get on the scale of autonomous driving technology, and the long discussion on the road to mass productionhas been rampant. Beginning in the second half of 2018, investors in the autonomous driving sector began to return to rationality. The competition for autonomous driving around the world is also moving from the experimental stage to thestage of engineering mass production.

At this point in time, last week on the 30thAugust, Horizon Robotics announced that it will mass-produce China's first automotive level AI chip, the second generation “Journey 2.” It is worth mentioning that the second generation “Journey 2.”has obtained a number of pre-installation points in five countries around the world. As soon as the first half of next year,the public can see a production model with the“Journey 2.”. Based on the “Journey 2.” Automotive chip, Horizon Roboticsalso launched the AI chip tool chain Horizon Robotics OpenExplorer, the “Journey 2.” visual perception solution for theADAS market, and the brand new Matrix autonomous driving computing platform. An Easter egg is that a “Journey 3.” chipfor L4/L5 autonomous driving and equipped with the Horizon Robotics High Performance Computing Architecture BPU3.0,which is expected to be officially launched next year.

The Automotive AI chip is the Everest of the artificial intelligence industry, and it is also the premise for the autonomousdriving to achieve large-scale landing. Horizon Robotics launched the first automotive grade AI chip, which not onlyachieved a breakthrough in the mass production of China's automotive grade AI chip, but also filled the key link of China domestic autonomous driving industry ecological construction.

The development of complex vehicle technologies such as autonomous driving, intelligent cockpit, telematics, and V2Xposes new challenges to the intelligent vehicle decentralized perception ability. The transformation of the E/E architectureand the consequent concentration of edge computing will lay the foundation for the whole vehicle perception. At theupcoming“The 3rd Annual China Automotive E/E Architecture Technology Innovation Conference”to be held on the7 - 8 Nov. 2019 in Shanghai, Mr. Stanly Li,the Vice President ofHorizon Roboticswill give a keynote presentationto share the development trend of E/E architecture, the formation of “independent sensing layer”, and the real case ofintelligent vehicle full-scenario sensing solution based on AI computing chip etc.

Horizon Robotics has the leading AI algorithms and chip design capabilities. Leveraging the company’s deep know-how optimizing the software-hardware union, it has independently designed high-performance, low-power and cost-effective edge AI chips and solutions that empowers our partners in smart mobility and AIoT. To accelerate our partners ‘time-to-market, the company also offers edge AI chips, open tool chain, rich sets of pre-trained model examples, and comprehensive services. (https://www.horizon.ai/#/)

Speaker: Xiaoping Zhang, President, ACTIA Group

Bio: Mr. Zhang Xiaoping founded ACTIA (Shanghai)Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. in July 2003.Since then, he has introduced the leading electronicand electrical architecture, technology and relatedproducts in Europe to lead the development of theindustry. In September 2004, he wrote “Applicationof On-board Local Area Network CAN Bus Technology on Passenger Cars”, which was the first to introduce

the advanced bus master-slave CAN bus controlsystem in Europe to the Chinese bus market, andpromote the adoption of CAN bus in high-gradehighway passenger cars. As a standardconfiguration,the control system has become mandatory for writingJT/T325 “Classification and Rating of Operating BusTypes”, which lays the foundation for the follow-up development of China's passenger car information technology;

Bio:Roger Looney holds over 30 Year’s experience inautomotive tooling, engineering and design, and over 20years’ experience in Asia.Current goals include utilizing that knowledge and experience to develop world class, excitingvehicles of the future.Specialties: Automotive Product Development and Launch, Mechatronics, Hybrid & EV development,Asia Mergers and Acquisitions, Six Sigma, ProductDevelopment, New Business Development inAsia, Mergers & Acquisitions in China, Korea, Japan..

As the C.A.S.E, namely Connected, Autonomous,Sharing/Service, and Electric have become thedriving force of the vehicle design, the E/Earchitecture design will also inevitably change.The design shift challenges the current highlydistributed vehicle computing architecture,as the software needs to be aggregated andintegrated to the level that is never imaginedbefore. The software platform such asAUTOSAR or ROS with its underlying OS willbe the key to realize a high-performance butenergy-efficient, deterministic, cost-effectivesafe system. This talk will provide insights intothe software challenges and the role OS plays to tackle the E/E architecture design shift.

Presentation Topics:A SW Framework for highlyautomated vehicles • Ensuring safe and secure vehicle internal andexternal communication (V2X)• Designed for high data security and data integrityrequirements• Optimized for dynamic configuration and Updates over the air (OTA)• Designed for service-oriented architectures• Compatibility with classic platform of AUTOSAR

Thousand Talent Program. He has beenengaged incommunication equipment research and developmentfor more than 30years in the United States.
